"A few years ago I developed a serious problem with my voice. We were on tour promoting
one of the largest selling records in music history - 'Supernatural'. I got food poisoning
about an hour before a show in Europe and couldn't stop vomiting between songs during our
three-hour show. This was the first show on a three-week tour, and I had no time to let
my voice recover. I could barely talk, can't remember how I managed to sing, and I ended
up developing nodules on both vocal cords. I was scared to death that I would never be able
to sing again. When I got home I immediately began seeking help from some voice
instructors. Their techniques didn't feel right to me so my instincts told me to seek
another way. A friend of mine turned me on to a Laryngologist in San Francisco, who has
since retired. While treating me, he recommended that I give Ruth Rainero a call because
he had heard some great things about her. I am happy to say that Ruth's philosophy and techniques
were the only ones that made any sense to me and, after working with her for some
time, my voice returned strong and continues to be stronger than ever today. I never
needed surgery. Thank you, Dr. Mink, and thank you sincerely, Ruth."
